I know whats fundie about this. While most Christians can see the difference between a white lie and theft fundamentalists have narrowed every sin to one violation of equal weight.

Therefore to them, and this is dangerous logic indeed, the candy-bar they stole as a child is an equal sin to the wanton murder they committed last week. To them the worst crime can be equated, in their Gods eyes with the slightest mistep, or those little candy thefts most of us are guilty of. While exaggerating small "sins" to extremes the fundie mind has also been trained to accept murder as no worse than paltry theft.

This can be justified with Biblical passages but only fundies are crazy enough to foster this ideology.
